The Test of Love.

Christian love is most severely tested
in life's close relationships. There is
a great difference between loving peo-
pie we never saw and never shall see
and those with whom we mingle con-
tinually in actual contact. There are
some whose souls glow with love for
the benighted heather far away who
fail utterly in loving their nearest
neighbors, or those who jostle against
them every day in business and in
society. No doubt it is easier to love
some people at a distance. Distance
lends enchantment to many lives, just

The Lame Butterfly.

Here is pretty little incident in the
life of great and good man, Rev.
Charles Kingsley. He loved animals
of all kinds. One Sunday morning, in
passing from the altar to the pulpit, he
disappeared, and we discovered that he
was searching for something on the
ground, which, when found, was taken
to the vestry. Subsequently it came
out that he was assisting a lame but
terfy, which was in great danger of
being trodden on. There was nothing
incongruous, nothing of the nature of
an effort to him in turning from the
gravest thoughts and duties to the
simplest acts of kindness and observa-
ton of everything around him.
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things, both great and small"

whether the parrot intended to be
naughty or not, but he cried out, as loud
as he could, Back up, Dobbinl Back
up, Dobbinl Back up, sir!" Dobbin
had backed down the gangway hun
dreds of times before when he heard the
order. He did so this time. Tinto
kept saying the same words and Dob
bin kept backing. He backed the
wagon off the gangway, and then went
over into the river himself. A boy saw
all this and called Dobbin's master.
After some hard work the poor horse
and wagon were taken out of the
water. Tinto was kept in the attic
a month for this trick. Perhaps he
wished he had done nothing but the
advertising iness.-Selected.

The Rock Island

TOPEKA, KAs., June 24-In the matter
of railroad building, the work being done
by the Rock Island is this state does not
appear to be July understood. Working
under the name "ChicagO, Kansas and
Nebraska" under the management of
Mr.. Lowe, this road has been pushed for
ward with remarkable energy. 1t is now
operating trains from ST. Joseph tc Mel
| son, il Nebraska, distance of 200 miles,
, and from st. Joseph to Topeka, eighty
nine miles; also, from Topeka to Herring
ton, aighiY-One miles, or total OF $40
miles. This much of the system is now
under charge OF the operating depart
ment. From Herpgton TO Elbing, trains
are operated by the construction depart
meDt, while the grading is completed TO
Caldwell This brings the trains to g
point eight miles south of Peabody, and
within thirty miles CT Wichita.
The branch from Herington to McPher-
son WAS opened up to trains yesterday,
and is being pushed forward as fast as
men can lay ties and steel. Work is also
progressing on the branch running north
ward from near Alma in Wabeunsee
county, through Manhattan ani Clay
Center to Belleville. Another branch
leaves the Nebraska main line at Fair
bury and runs TO Bellvile, where it in
tersects the Clay Center line from which
bOtn branches run on one line west
through Jewell, Smith and Phillips coun-
~ to Norton county. The line is under
construction and will be in operation be-
fore cold weather. This is eventually to
be extended on to Denver. The grading
is completed from Mcpherson to Pratt,
where has been established the end Of a
division and on through Greeusburg to
Fowler in Meade county. From this last
named point lines have been surveyed to
Trinidad and FL PaSo, but no other work
has, as yet, been done.
The Caldwell line, by . United States
charter, passes through the Indian Terri
tory into Texas. This line will be sixty
miles west of the Santa Fe territory line,
and it Is supposed to be headed for Gal
weston, although this has not been given
out otliialiy.
From Lexington another branch is IN
Ger contract to Abilene and Salina, and
construction gangs are at work pushing
i as fast as men can work.
Starting out as q St. Joseph enterprise,
il was soon discovered that Kansas peO-
pie did not have time 10 look over their
maps and hunt out st, Joseph, which &C.
Cupies the unenviabIe position of being
neither city nor q village A contract
was therefore made with the Union Pacific
whereby the Rock Island viii use that
line from Topeka to Kansas City, COM
mencipg September l. This contract
runs two years, by which time the Rock
Island will have its own line to the me-
tropolis. The aim, at one time, was to
divert all traffic, passenger and freight,
northward TO st. Joseph, but it was very
soon found out that that this could not
be done, and the Kansas City connection
was necessity, which was promptly met.
Atchison will be connected before fall
with this system by road from Atchison
to Pierce, for which bonds have already
been voted Kansas City Journal.

A COUNTRY OF ROSES.
Blooming Fields OF Bulgaria, Where Flow
srs Are Cultivated for Perfumes.

!
srs Are Cultivated for Perfumes.
Bulgaria, the little country in Earope
which ne hear so much about of late, is q
veritsble rose garden in Itself. In no
part of The world, says Mick's Magazine,
has the cultivation CT the rose come so
near perfection as in this small
state, and, although the soil and
atmosphere of the country has much
to do with the success of the work,
the native inhabitants have made such &
long and careful study Of the plant and
its needs that they have created wonders
out of their fields of blooming roses. As
is well known, the flowers are grown
there for the purpose of extracting the
precious aroma known as the "attar of
rose" but this circumstance does not
detraCt in the least from the appearance
of the roses. The bushes require consiG-
cradle care emo attention, and they are
seldom allowed to attain height of over
six feet.
In the great rose gardens where the
flowers are raised for manufacturing the
tattar of rose" The bushes are seldom
grated or budded. The roots forming
the bushes of young rose garden are
taken from the old bushes and carefully
buried with plenty Of manure, where they
senGup young shoots. These reach their
full growth in about five years, and for
fifteen years will yield large crops Of
roses. When an old bud begins
ID fail the bushes are cut away
and new shoots allowed to spring
up, CT the whole field plowed up
and roots from another Ced set out IN
their place A successful rose grower
keeps several rose gardens at all times in
different stages Of development, so that
when one garden begins to ne unproduct-
I've another one is about ready to come
in. The roses blossom in the latter part
of May, when all the neighborhood is
employed in picking them and getting
them to the distillery.
In addition TO the great industry of ex-
tracing the precious aroms from the
roses, the inhabitants of Bulgaria make
quite business of exporting rose slips
and roots 20 different countries. The
facility with which the roses grow in the
fertile valleys Of that country makes il 8

In Unity IL Strength

Now that San Angeles railroad era
has dawned it will not be out of place tc
remark that tie only way Angelo can
bri3g down alI the railroad game within
range is through the unanimous co.
operation of every individual interested
il the city. If personal jeslousy
and selGshness is allowed to creep
into railroad matters we may bid good
bye right now TO all our bright prospects
OF becoming a railroad center. There
are miles upon miles of river front all
around us, and it is sheer nonsense to
suppose that railroads will be compelled
10 come TO San Angelo; they can't be
forced to do anything of the sort, and the
only way TO prevent them from max
iog San Angelo Dallas and
building Fort Worth somewhere in our
neighborhood, is for San Angelo to adopt
Fort Worth's tactics, and allow no indi-
vidusl bitterness 10 come in when deal
inE with railroad propositions. Depend
upon it, where there is unity there is
success and prosperity, and without it
diScord and failure will inevitably follow.
